<p class="BodyText-nospaceafter">ECMWF is the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts. It is an intergovernmental organisation created in 1975 by a group of European nations and is today supported by 34 Member and Co-operating States, mostly in Europe.
The Centre’s mission is to serve and support its Member and Co-operating States and the wider community by developing and providing world-leading global numerical weather prediction. ECMWF functions as a 24/7 research and operational centre with a focus on
medium and long-range predictions and holds one of the largest meteorological archives in the world. The success of its activities relies primarily on the talent of its scientists, strong partnerships with its Member and Co-operating States and the international
community, some of the most powerful supercomputers in the world, and the use of innovative technologies such as machine learning across its operations.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="BodyText-nospaceafter"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="BodyText-nospaceafter">Over the years, ECMWF has also developed a strong partnership with the European Union, and for the past seven years has been an entrusted entity for the implementation and operation of the Climate and the Atmosphere Monitoring
Services of the EU Copernicus Programme, as well as a contributor to the Copernicus Emergency Management Service. The collaboration does not stop there and include other areas of work, including High Performance Computing and the development of digital tools.
It is enabling ECMWF to now provide data and products covering weather, climate, ait quality, fire and flood prediction and monitoring.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="BodyText-nospaceafter"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="BodyText-nospaceafter">ECMWF has recently become a multi-site organisation, with its headquarters based since its creation in Reading, UK, its new data centre opening in 2021 in Bologna, Italy, and new offices, also opening in 2021 in Bonn, Germany.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="BodyText-nospaceafter"><a name="_Hlk65752242">It is foreseen that ECMWF will be a major partner in the implementation of the Destination Earth (DestinE) initiative starting later in 2021, together with ESA and EUMETSAT as partners. The objective of
the European Commission DestinE initiative is to deploy several highly accurate thematic digital replicas of the Earth, called Digital Twins, to monitor and predict natural and human activities as well as their interactions, to develop and test scenarios that
would enable more sustainable developments and support corresponding European policies for the Green Deal.
